Kadıköy Roman Catholic Cemetery (Turkish: Hasanpaşa Uzunçayır Latin Katolik Mezarlığı), also known as Kadıköy Katolik Cemaati Kabristanı, is a historic Roman Catholic cemetery located in Kadıköy district of Istanbul, Turkey. The cemetery shares the burial ground with two other adjacent Christian cemeteries separated by a wall; namely the Kadıköy Armenian cemetery and the Greek Orthodox cemetery of St. Ignatius.
History and description[edit]
When Catholic Greeks from Chios were added to the people of Frankish origin living in Kadıköy in the 1850s, the Catholic population in Kadıköy increased. Kadıköy Catholic community, who used to inter the dead in the churchyard of Notre-Dame de L’Assomption Roman Catholic church on Moda, Cem Street today, started to use the cemetery land allocated in Hasanpaşa, Uzunçayır together with other non-Muslim communities after the ban on inner city burials, as a result of cholera epidemics in 1864.
In addition to the civil Catholic burials in the cemetery, there are also the tombs of the nuns serving within the L'Assomption monastery.
